Update on Oath Runeword

Try to get a 4 socketed etheral Highland Blade for this runeword. You can net up to an extra 1000 damage per strike (every other) if this can be achieved. This was tested, just remember to make sure that the sword isn't in your off-hand for the proper boost as it doesn't seem to be as large a boost in this case. More testing required, but it works.

Frenzy Barbarian Facts

1.Attack speed is calculated by 3 main factors:
*The averaging of the base weapon speeds
*Only 1 on-weapon speed is used
*Off-weapon speed modifiers
2. Weapon range only counts for the primary weapon
3. Primary Weapons always swing first
4. The graphic for the primary weapon always appears in the barbarians right hand in-game view.
5. The Primary weapon is 'always' the weapon that is equipped first
6. Whenever you switch weapons the primary weapon gets reset. The new primary weapon is the weapon slot on the left hand side of the inventory page.
7. Try to keep any 'Chance to Casts' (ctc's) off weapon so both swings get the chance to activate it. Like crushing blow.
8. Deadly Strike and Critical Strike do not accumulate. If you have both then they will be calculated separately unless CS succeeds since CS is calculated first.
9. Crushing Blow is affected by any monster physical resistances. Since most enemies in hell have 50% damage reduction its a good idea to get something that reduces this. Although negative physical resistances will not increase CB past its base effectiveness.
10. Critical Strike is added at the very end of all damage calculations.
11. CB is not actually physical damage so Iron Maiden will not work against it.
12. In the case of the berserk skill, CS is applied prior to changing a % of damage to magic.
13. Double swing is a mana free skill at level 9, useful against mana burn monsters.
14. Berserk will save you against Iron Maiden, however you can't life leech with it.
15. If you plan on using lawbringers ctc decrepify then a holy freeze merc's slowing effect will stack to bring the monster speed down further.
16. Ghostly monsters have 80% physical resistance, stone skin mean +50% physical resistance.
17. Sanctuary aura ignores any posititve physical resistance or immunity of undead, this is applied after decrepify and amplify damage.
18. Only the provider of the santuary aura benefits from the negative physical resists to undead. I don't know why they call it an aura but that's how it works.
19. Sanctuary aura always reduces undead physical resistances to exactly 0% regardless.
20. Sanctuary does not ignore positive physical resistance or immunity of undead for CB.
21. The 'Plague Bearers' (zombies) in the Lost City (Act 2) have magic immunity making them immune to the pulse damage coming from the sanctuary aura.
